Because of the depth, in combination with the large surface, you are lost quickly or you need to get very lucky if you fish without a fishfinder. Read more >>

Finally, some nice spring days here in the Netherlands. For us it meant looking for bows on Lake Oostvoorne. Very difficult day. The wind even made it a bit chilly. Luckily we found some fish after all.
